Designing a new toy to fit other toy pieces: a shape-matching toy design based on existing building blocks
: Shape-matching toys are popular items for infants, and consist of boxes with many holes in different shapes along with corresponding blocks of the same shapes. To play with the t...

Fluctuating crosstalk, deterministic noise, and GA scalability
This paper extends previous work showing how fluctuating crosstalk in a deterministic fitness function introduces noise into genetic algorithms. In that work, we modeled fluctuati...

A quantitative approach for validating the building-block hypothesis
The building blocks are common structures of high-quality solutions. Genetic algorithms often assume the building-block hypothesis. It is hypothesized that the high-quality solutio...

Overcoming hierarchical difficulty by hill-climbing the building block structure
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...
